Not bad, not bad. Eyes a bit too large. Her left pupil so go all the way to the edge of her eye. You forgot her subtle muzzle. Her eyebrows should be much lighter. Her lips should be thinner. She should look less cute overall. But better than I could do, no doubt.

1: Post a brief backstory if your OC has one.

2: Character design critique and discussion is welcome.

3: Keep it fairly SFW. Lewds are fine but no explicit porn.

4: This is NOT a request thread. Artist Only. No spamming OC/infodumps for multiple threads without delivering.

5: Be sure to thank Drawfrens for their hard work as soon as you can, it's just common courtesy :^)

Her name is Tryga
She's the current Right Hand Ma'am of Queen Shayatan and serves basicly as her Secretary and runs the Kingdom in her stead with a few exceptions. She's also the Judge of the Court and deals out the punishments herself no matter how severe. The Species she Belongs to are a rare variant of Werewolfs called Tricans

Seems like a normal degree of progress. People hyperfocus on the like 2% of artists with a high degree of talent who make amazing rapid progress, while overlooking the overwhelming majority of people who make modest progress over a long period of time before topping out. They then shit on people who don't achieve the prebeg-to-pro in 5 years goal in order to convince themselves that said progress will be their progress, as opposed to the less shocking normal progress.

I draw almost every day and i try to do a full colored illustration so its about 2 hours a day, excercises no, i did master studies of my favorite artist Range Murata but i felt like i has no idea what i was doing, people always say art school is a meme but i feel like i would definitely benefit from a lesson based structure to advancing rather than flailing around unguided

>>7712565
a colored illustration in 2 hours? how about try focusing on accuracy and cap yourself at like 20 hours. even for pros 10h+ is totally normal for bg + character fully rendered

Not sure if its what you people were talking about exactly but I branched out and spent all day drawing this, it's not an anime girl, its perspective and has a lot of background work, simple but I love the game this is based on so I thought why not, I actually think it turned out very good (though the perspective is a bit wonky still) I get what ya'll mean about branching out because this was a lot more fun and fulfilling than just drawing girl #100

I wanna start incorporating stories into my artworks, a lot of splash arts showing off a character often tell a story, along with artist like WLOP who do it often. I wanna know if anyone has any idea where i can find thematic references for this stuff.

Zehya, Atta, Adel (female villains)

Let's talk about the different platforms people use for art. Requirements:
- The platform has a significant number of posters
- A significant subset of posters are good
- users have identifiable accounts

Off the top of my head:
- instagram
- artstation
- twitter

I know plenty about instagram and twitter's vibes/ecosystem, but I'm curious about artstation. It seems like there's a lot of really high-quality work there. Like a linkedin for artists. It's almost demoralizing because there's so many "looking for work" bios on people with pro-tier work.

What kind of job are you looking for in terms of industry portfolios?
I can hook you up with a lot of the background artist portfolios.

>>7712235
I'm not actively seeking a job rn, but I want to see what success looks like. I've been grinding figure fundamentals, blender, some landscape, some houdini and some coding for a decade and I can kinda make whatever I want, but it feels too 'open'. Do I want to make 2d animations? Sculpt? BG painting? sexy mograph particle sims? It's all lots of fun but I gotta decide what to work on to completion for portfolio to position myself best.
>>
>>7712385
Sounds like you need a structured project like making a solo small game, animation or comic. Or just do what I did and kind of force yourself into it by financially committing to a course
